The plan for the Basketball New Zealand (BBNZ) Under 16 Talent Develop Programme has been set for the 2018 to 2020 competition cycle, as the coaches and trialists for that programme have been announced today by BBNZ.

The coaches that will run the age-group programme are Natalie Visger and Zico Coronel. Their key targets will be made up of annual FIBA events – the FIBA Oceania Championships in 2018, which is a qualifier for the FIBA Asia Cup in 2019, which is also a qualifier for the FIBA World Cup in 2020. Part of the preparation also includes the pinnacle event for the Select teams, who will play in the Australian State Champs.

Basketball New Zealand also announced the longlist of players that will trial for selection into the first year of this programme. The list was compiled by the coaches in consultation with regional basketball associations throughout New Zealand. Trials will be held on 3 to 6 February, 2018.
